Me: What do the Rangers need to do to win the division this year? TR: Hank Blalock is a free agent at the end of the season. If the Rangers don’t re-sign him, I think that will take care of that issue. Me: Who do you think should be the Rangers’ closer?

Opinion: On the road again

09 Mar 2009 08:35:32 PDT

Written by Rick Carpiniello
If John Tortorella thought the Rangers “wet their pants” then how would he describe what Bruins backup goalie Manny Fernandez was doing all day long? So it’s on to Raleigh and Nashville (did you older fans ever think you’d hear that) for the Rangers. Tonight is a Versus game, which means a lo...

Opinion: Power Play Making a Difference This Season

31 Oct 2008 20:40:41 PDT

Written by Dubi
One obvious factor is the goaltending of Henrik Lundqvist -- no one who has watched Wade Redden, Dmitri Kalinin, and Michal Rozsival play hot potato with the puck in their own end is going to ascribe the Rangers' defensive prowess to their blueline corps. You just can't underestimate the i...

Opinion: Rangers-Penguins: New York Rallies Late, Looks To Carry Momentum Against Isles

26 Oct 2008 10:52:28 PDT

Written by Jason Klau
This win against Pittsburgh may turn out to be a great rallying point for the now 8-2-1 Rangers—but it will mean nothing if they cannot carry this play to their game on Monday against their cross-town rival, the New York Islanders. Chris Drury definitely needs to step it up against the Islan...

Opinion: Game time!!!

04 Oct 2008 07:05:41 PDT

Written by jim
I'm sure you heard that the Rangers already won the cup. Unfortunately, it was only the Victoria Cup, and they beat a team with only a handful of borderline NHL players. BUT, it was cool nonetheless. If they can build on that and translate it into regular season wins remains to be seen. AND, we wil...

Opinion: Victoria Cup Live Blog: Rangers vs. Metallurg Magnitogorsk

01 Oct 2008 10:34:38 PDT

Written by Sam Weinman
Update, 2:51 p.m.: Rangers get on the board thanks to Chris Drury converting on a Nikolai Zherdev pass. It’s 3-1 Metallurg at the end of the second period. But the Rangers still have a power play when the third period starts. Drury was pumped after the goal. Fischler speculates that he’s the next R...

Opinion: Preseason: Looking Good: Rangers Vs. Senators

23 Sep 2008 05:49:00 PDT

Written by Scotty Hockey
The Rangers looked pretty good in their preseason bout with the Ottawa Senators tonight and pulled out a 2-1 win. It is reason to be giddy as these guys took care of business against an opponent they were supposed to beat - Ottawa's B-team. The boys showed some good chemistry and worked hard, w...

Opinion: Penguins are interested in Jagr, but not optimistic

02 Jul 2008 13:09:50 PDT

Written by Sam Weinman
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review’s Rob Rossi reaffirms our own theory, which says the Rangers losing out on Marian Hossa means they will make a bigger push for Jaromir Jagr: “We’ve been told the Penguins are interested in Jagr, but they believe New York will now make an aggressive attempt t...

Opinion: Rangers Drafting Keepers These Days [Update at Bottom]

19 Jun 2008 08:45:16 PDT

Written by Dubi
Glen Sather's Edmonton Oilers, by the way, were barely better than Smith's Rangers in the 1990s Rangers or his own 21st century Rangers -- 3.53% (tied with Detroit for 19th). The Oilers since then, under Kevin Lowe, are right where the Rangers are with 1,966 man-games. So despite the change,...

Opinion: RANGERS @ DEVILS: GAME 2 (sort of) LIVE-CAP!

11 Apr 2008 15:07:41 PDT

Written by Patricia Greuter
9:53 PM ET: Can anyone explain to me why an icing was called when, uh, the Devils are shorthanded? Lame. 9:53 PM ET: Aaaand Cap’n Langs takes a penalty. Wow. Way to ruin everything. 9:51 PM ET: Lundqvist with a huge save, time out Rangers. 9:20 PM ET: Epic fail. 2-0 Rangers. Avery scores. Sigh.

Opinion: Generation X-Factor

09 Apr 2008 09:32:44 PDT

Written by Dubi
This is no accident. As Jess Rubenstein has often pointed out in his coverage of Ranger prospects, this is part of the Rangers' plan, to draft and develop players in winning environments so that when they are NHL-ready, they are ready to win. With multiple Stanley Cup winners Brendan Shanah...

Opinion: One last regular season dance

Written by Josh Burnett
Of all the teams in the Eastern Conference, the Devils draw the Rangers for round one of the playoffs. This afternoon’s game decides home-ice advantage for the series. The Rangers need to win in regulation, the Devils just need to push it to overtime to lock up a potential game seven at the Roc...

Opinion: Off day musings

11 Mar 2008 09:11:24 PDT

Written by Sam Weinman
Not surprisingly given Tom Renney’s admission last night that his team is “spent”, the coach gave the Rangers a day off today. The team certainly earned it in going the distance in these back-to-back wins. Naturally if the Rangers lose, then the officiating is a huge part of the story.

Opinion: Finding Ways to Win Games

10 Mar 2008 22:17:17 PDT

Written by Dubi
They may not exactly be firing on all cylinders, but all cylinders are doing just enough for the Rangers to keep winning. Last night, the Rangers overcame referee Bill McCreary's single-handed attempt to maintain parity in the NHL to eke out another shootout win, 3-2 in Buffalo. Henrik Lun...

Opinion: Jagr Not "Russian" to Leave New York, But May Have to Consider it Anyway

12 Feb 2008 13:13:32 PST

Written by Dubi
Elsewhere in the news today, the Post discusses Sean Avery, the Daily News and Newsday talk about the Rangers' unusually long five-day break between games, and Rangers Report considers some trade possibilities. Yahoo! Sports has a team report for the Rangers. The News takes a look at Quee...

Opinion: Renney Going to the Well Again

09 Feb 2008 08:58:22 PST

Written by Dubi
Tom Renney has made some line-up moves this season that have defied expectations and have worked. At the end of October, he broke up the obvious match-up of Scott Gomez and Jaromir Jagr, which wasn't working at the time, and moved Gomez to the slumping Brendan Shanahan's line. Shanahan star...

Opinion: Net Result is the Bottom Line

08 Feb 2008 10:37:46 PST

Written by Dubi
But the truth is, no matter what anyone else does, when a goaltender allows eight goals on 40 shots, as Lundqvist has in the last 110 minutes of play after stopping the first ten shots by the Kings, a team is going down, and going down easily.

Opinion: Snakebitten Rangers Shut Out Again

23 Oct 2007 21:11:40 PDT

Written by Dubi
Either way, Jagr has to be front and center in solving this problem. He has just one goal in eight games, the slowest start of his career in a season he promised would be his best ever. And he is the captain, so he must lead the Rangers out of the quagmire they have dug for themselves. Right behind hi...

Opinion: Seven Year Itch

24 Sep 2006 11:25:05 PDT

Written by brian
I started covering the New York Rangers in 1999. During that stretch I've seen everything from a player getting busted for smoking crack in a hotel room with a hooker, to an oafish defenseman winning a game in a shootout by snapping a puck through his legs. I've watched Theo Fleury, Eric Lindr...
